FOR
I – INTRO
PyroCCS is a biochar project developer for the Global South.
Its mission is to implement one of the fastest-to-scale carbon dioxide removal strategies.
In 2023, 12 PyroCCS systems will be commissioned in Namibia and India, resulting in a CDR potential of 30,000 tons of net sequestered CO2.
By 2027, over 550 PyroCCS systems will be commissioned worldwide, leading to a CDR potential of 1 million tons of net sequestered CO2.
PyroCCS’ proprietary technology is designed for decentralized use in rural areas. It’s robust, affordable and easy to use. Yet it meets the stringent requirements of LCA-based standards for generating high-quality carbon credits.
II – SDGs
A total of 10 out of 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are supported.
PyroCCS’s Biochar strategy not only permanently removes carbon from the carbon cycle and can make degraded soils fertile, but offers a host of other benefits.
III – POTENTIAL
Imagine the CO2 that could be removed worldwide
Promoting pyrogenic carbon capture and storage (PyCCS) as a global strategy opens up enormous potential for permanent carbon sinks.

IV – MISSION
Ideas become reality
After a conversation in 2019 about the incredible benefits of consistently using PyCCS, Carlos and Timo decided to combine their skills and develop a biochar strategy that is both environmentally sound and economically lucrative.
